The Keyes 34 piece sensor experiment kit adds an enormous amount of variety and additional fun to every Maker's toolbox! The kit features a range of assorted sensors, detectors, switches and emitters. If you've ever fancied wiring up a and experimenting with a host of different sensors, then this is the kit to do it! The kit is suitable for use with most microcontrollers including Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and there's a large amount of information (including example code) for use on both systems, which is available at the bottom of the page!

Each sensor is pre-assembled, so there's no soldering required, the kit comes in a neat compartment clip together plastic box, so you can order and store all the sensors safely. There's even a neat cheat sheet included in every box that has the name and picture reference for each sensor.

Please Note. There were originally 37 sensors in this kit, however three have been removed: The tilt sensor and light cup sensor contain a small ball or mercury (which cannot be shipped within the UK), and the laser emitter, which we suspect is greater than 125mW (class 3) cannot be sold within the UK.

The kit includes the following sensors:

XY Joystick Module

Flame Sensor

RGB 3 Colour LED Module

Heartbeat

Hall Magnetic

Relay

Linear Hall Sensor

SMD RGB

7 Colour Flash

One Wire Temperature Sensor (TEMP)

Loud Sound Detector (Big Sound)

Touch Switch (Touch)

PCB Mounted Push Button (Button)

LDR Light Sensor (Photoresistor)

IR Emission

IR Avoidance Line Follow Sensor (Tracking)

Buzzer

Reed Switch

Shock Sensor

IR Reflection Sensor (Avoid)

Passive Buzzer

Mini Reed

Rotary Encoder

Magnetic Field Detector (Analog Hall)

Vibration Sensor (Tap Module)

Light Beam Break Sensor (Light Blocking)

Resources

The Keyes 34 Pieces sensor kit is very popular, and there are a range of resources available

Forgive my ignorance, but I want to buy this for my sone so don't want to solder anything. How do I connect these sensors to the Pi and can I connect multiple at a time to combine functionality?

You will want to look at getting some jumper wires - https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/jumper-wires

Which gender jumper wires you get will depend on how you are connecting the sensor. If you are going from the sensor directly to the Pi then you will want Female to Female. If you are going to plug the sensor into a breadboard, and then go from the breadboard to the Pi, you will want Male to Female.

There is a really nice breakdown on the sensors included in the kit here - https://forum.modmypi.com/sensors/choosing-the-right-iot-sensor-kit-for-a-class-t1763.html?hilit=ADC#p7694
